I don't do Texas chili aka sloppy Joe but I make a mean chili con carne

2# beans red pinto black or a 15 bean mix depends on what I'm in a mood for.
1 28 oz. can each of diced tomatoes, tomato sauce
a small can of tomato paste
4 or 6 onions diced
about the same amount of diced fresh chili peppers usually just bell but jalapeno when I can get them cheap enough.
2 or 3 pounds of ground meat I usually use a mix of pork and beef
spice it with basil garlic and ground pepper to taste Oh celery seed, parsley, cumin and red pepper flakes and even sage have been known to find their way in the pot.
I add about 4 table spoons of Cayenne Pepper but most people don't care for it to be that hot.

When I cook it never stays the same more of this and less of that /shrug

I'm not saying I will not eat it. I just don't make it. My sis lived in Texas her two older boys were born there, I've got nothing against the state. In fact I tremendously enjoyed my visit NIOSA was a great gastronomic and beer testing good time.

is chili supposed to give "stomach" problems afterwards...i dunno how else to describe it delicately, but think methane gas and laxatives. i never had chili that didn't do that...wondering if i got a weak body or its just that type of food.

and if you add beans to it - it's stew not chili

All chili is stew.



but chili is a specialized stew and you can't call a stew chili if it contains beans

Who the hell cares if it's got beans or not? This debate is about as worthless as the 'purists' who whine about whether you use a gas or charcoal grill to cook your food.

Why knock the way other people cook? It seems pretty pointless to me.
